The first set of suffixes is:
| Suffix | Condition |
|---|---|
| ऊँ | If the subject is मैं |
| ओ | If the subject is तुम |
| ए | If the subject is singular |
| एँ | If the subject is plural |
The second set of suffixes is:
| Suffix | Condition |
|---|---|
| गा | If the subject is masculine and singular |
| गे | If the subject is masculine and plural |
| गी | If the subject is feminine, whether singular or plural |
The future tense does not specify any particular aspect. It is “non-aspectual”.
